uqm - Ur-Quan Masters

SYNOPSIS

uqm [options]

DESCRIPTION

The Ur-Quan Masters is a 2D inter-galatic adventure game. You return
to Earth with a vessel built from technology discovered from an ancient
race called the Precursors only to find it enslaved. Gather allies from
a wide variety of races, engage in space combat with various foes, and
save the galaxy from the Ur-Quan!

OPTIONS

Valid command line options:
-h,--help
Display a help message.
-r,--resresolution
Sets the screen resolution. Unless --opengl is set, the only
valid values are 640x480 and 320x240.
-f,--fullscreen
Uses full screen mode. Pretty straightforward. Usually good to
combine with -r 320x240.
-o,--opengl
Use OpenGL drivers. This produces higher-quality graphics, and
may be faster as well -- but it also may not work on older
cards.
-c,--scale=mode
Graphics scaling mode (linear, biadapt, biadv, triscan, hq).
Default is none. Try these to get smoother graphics with cost
on performance.
-b,--meleezoom=mode
Melee scaling mode (step, aka pc, or smooth, aka 3do). Default
is 3do. Slower machine owners can set it to nearest to get
better performance in melee but degraded visual quality.
-s,--scanlines
Simulates interlaced displays.
-p,--fps
Print fps information in the status window.
-g,--gammavalue
Sets gamma correction. 1.0 causes no change (unless your
graphics card is originally set to a different value). Higher
than 1.0 makes the image brighter, lower than 1.0 makes it
darker.
-C.--configdirdirectory
Set the directory where the game will seek its configuration
files.
-n,--contentdirdirectory
Set the directory where the game will seek its data.
-M,--musicvolvolume
Set music volume (0-100).
-S,--sfxvolvolume
Set sound effects volume (0-100).
-T,--speechvolvolume
Set speech volume (0-100). If set to 0, game runs in ’no speech’
mode and oscilloscope reacts to the music.
-q,--audioqualityhigh|medium|low
Specifies how nice the audio sounds. Slower machines should
lower the audio quality.
-u,--nosubtitles
Disables subtitles.
-l,--logfilefile
Sends console output to a logfile.
--addonaddon
Replace addon by the name of an add-on to enable in the game.
May be specified multiple times.
--soundopenal|mixsdl|none
Specifies which driver/mixer to use. Default is mixsdl. openal
is only available when it has been compiled in. It may produce
higher-quality sound and will probably be faster, but it is not
very stable on linux platforms, and may not work well with some
sound cards. Use "none" as a last resort if you cannot get
other drivers to work, or if you have no soundcard.
--stereosfx
Enables positional sound effects in melee. Currently works only
when using openal.
--nethostNhostname
Server to connect to for player N (1=bottom, 2=top)
--netportNport
port to connect to/listen on for player N (1=bottom, 2=top) The
default port is 21837.
--netdelayframes
Number of frames to buffer/delay network input for.
-m,--music3do|pc
Controls use of the 3DO remixed soundtrack for songs that were
in fact remixed. 3DO is the default.
-i,--intro3do|pc
Controls the intro/ending version. 3DO is the default.
--cscanpc|3do
Use either PC (text) or 3DO (pictograms) style planet
information when scanning. The default is PC.
--menupc|3do
Use either PC style (text and ’CREW’/’BATT’) or 3DO (pictograms)
in melee. The default is PC.
--fontpc|3do
Use either PC or 3DO style fonts and colors. The default is PC.
--shieldpc|3do
Use either PC style (static) or 3DO style (throbbing) slave
shield. The default is PC.
--scrollpc|3do
Scroll voice-over/subtitles 1 page at a time (PC style) or
smoothly (3DO style) when using left/right arrow keys. The
default is PC.
